Abstract

Individualized short message service (SMS; i.e., text messages) and/or phone calls (PC) in Spanish were examined as an effective interventional approach to increasing daily fruits and vegetables (F&V) and physical activity (PA) among community-dwelling Spanish-speaking Hispanics. Participants were randomized to one of three ordered groups: Control (n = 25), SMS (n = 27), or SMS + PC (n = 26). PA and F&V intake were measured at baseline and 12 weeks later, when acceptability and usefulness were evaluated. Using the Cochran-Armitage test, we found an increasing trend in the proportion of vegetable intake (p = .03) and leisure time PA (p = .004) across the interventions. Most respondents from the SMS and SMS + PC groups approved the modalities and frequency of contact and reported following the advice provided. SMS + PC was the most effective intervention to improve PA and vegetable intake among respondents. These findings support feasibility and acceptability of using remote access platforms, specifically, text and phone-based health communication strategies, with Spanish-speaking participants.

在讲西班牙语的西班牙人中,电话和短信促进健康行为的可接受性
个性化短信服务;我们研究了西班牙语短信和/或电话(PC)作为一种有效的干预方法,以增加居住在西班牙语社区的西班牙裔西班牙人每天的水果和蔬菜(F&V)和身体活动(PA)。参与者被随机分为三个有序组:对照组(n = 25)、短信组(n = 27)或短信+ PC组(n = 26)。在基线和12周后测量PA和F&V摄入量,并评估可接受性和有用性。使用Cochran-Armitage检验,我们发现蔬菜摄入量的比例(p = .03)和休闲时间PA (p = .004)在干预中呈增加趋势。大多数来自短信和短信+个人电脑组的受访者都认可了联系的方式和频率,并按照所提供的建议报告。SMS + PC是改善被调查者PA和蔬菜摄入量最有效的干预措施。这些发现支持了在讲西班牙语的参与者中使用远程访问平台,特别是基于文本和电话的健康通信策略的可行性和可接受性。
